This is a sign of the times unfortunately and will lead to another rant
of mine on the Campaign for Real Computer Science shortly.

Anyone here who has encountered my ranting previously will know how very
disillusioned I am with the state of CS and Higher Education.

That is not entirely true because you can use a checked build and show
some interesting stuff with writing device drivers and so on.

However most students taking OS courses who are actually interested in
learning (there are some usually) probably choose free.
